I have read quite a few of the books... althou in norwegian hehe... I would recomend the books... they are absolutely good read (if you like fantasy genre) Its quite a few sad points and a few points where its not realy good for children to read but other then that the storry is realy good and intresting... i am sad to say that i havent read all and if my memory dosent fail me its about 50 or so books(take or add a few)
